Saw a very wary black bear at H43. He was definitely on grizzly turf and seemed to know it as he moved off into the bush soon after we arrived.

Saw large adult grizzly bear just south of HEC feeding in logjam. She wandered a little and then crossed the road and disappeared into the bush. Then we saw Apple at the top of of a rise overlooking the road. We watched entranced as she scratched, peed, did a stiff-legged "cowboy" walk and then slowly came down towards us and crossed the road.
In the afternoon we saw the newly-christened Stripy Bear again. Then we watched a younger grizzly for about half an hour a little to the north. On the way back we once again had excellent views of Stripy Bear as she moved underneath us.

Again watched Stripy Bear (400lb female) as she fished extensively near HEC.
